The Stranger in Central Park appears at a time when society desperately needs to examine its often tragic appetite for guns and violence. The novel asks: What would you do if a "Stranger" suddenly appeared in time of war, and called for peace, love, and disarmament? Would you heed the call if the Stranger could walk on water? Heal the sick? Make the blind see? Would anyone? Set in modern day New York City, author James Patrick Dillon poses these and other important questions to Christian Fiction readers, and asks a broader audience to examine the nexus between their professed faith and their politics.The Stranger's first miracle involves Katie Molinaro, sister of New York City mayor Jack Molinaro, and a news team captures it on film. The footage goes viral, and tens of thousands descend on Central Park to see this powerful "Stranger" for themselves. Subsequent miracles, coupled with the Stranger's stirring commandments, inspire "a new gathering" of followers. However, they also incur the wrath of politically powerful interests, especially New York's ambitious governor, Denny Brandt. Tensions mount. A final, fiery confrontation leads to a dramatic and heart-wrenching conclusion that takes readers beyond the bounds of ordinary experience and into the transcendental realms of spiritual revelation.
